One of the UK's most prolific performers, Frank Turner has announced a livestream show to benefit 30 grassroots venues that are seriously struggling due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Frank is set to hit the stage at London's Troubadour on December 3 in aid of Music Venue Trust’s Red List Campaign, with proceeds being distributed between the UK's most at-risk rooms.
“I’ve played many of the venues on the Music Venue Trust Red List and can’t stand by while they’re under threat,” he says. “It’s hard to imagine the risk to underground music and culture if we lose the stages where artists find their voice, develop and grow. I hope performing at The Troubadour on day one of live audiences returning to gigs can capture some of the power of seeing a grassroots music venue performance and highlight what’s in danger of being lost.”
